do as i say not as i do

Sorry for the hiatus but I was a bit down because there are Stats as to how many people read your blog, and mine were at a record low. No need to embarrass myself with how low 🙂 Then, I thought to myself, “This is not about me, rather about documenting this discovery lest someday someone may benefit from it”. So here I am blogging again.  Note this is a continuation of the self-discovery on how to come to know God and NOT know ABOUT God. As an addict to hypocrisy, after confession comes the admission of the exact nature of my wrongs. Before I can admit them, I had to discover what these wrongs are;

We believe by Faith
Faith is a HEART matter not an intellect matter
My words express & reflect my intellect
My actions express & reflect my Faith
But in reality, it is my words that confess my faith
And it is my actions that contradict my words
But if my actions do not reflect my Faith THEN IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT MY FAITH IS IN MY MIND AND NOT IN MY HEART HENCE THE HYPOCRISY!!!??
And if my Faith is in my mind and not in my heart, then do I truly believe!?!?!?

This logic is a bit scary, isn’t it?

Brought up in church, in the Bible often and capable of stating what the Bible means here and means there, yet it is all by intellect and not by the ‘heart’ …….. a bit devastating, if I may say.

I have confessed and stated the exact nature of my wrongs, then what, give it all up? On the contrary, I needed to right my wrongs. First I needed to identify the problem;

We say it is up to God to change someone’s heart
People of God must plant the seed, in essence deliver the message
But it is pretty obvious people are not coming to God rather moving away
We blame this on the lack of witnessing, but there’s plenty witnessing going on
If not witnessing then the problem is with the message that we are delivering

The world says we are hypocrites, therefore the world will not listen to a message that the messenger does not honor, for no one wants to follow a messenger that says “Do as I say not as I Do.”

I am not harping on this issue, just simply hoping that you would admit with me that you are a hypocrite, for the first step is admission. If that does not happen, nothing changes.

May the Glory be to our Lord and Creator always and may we grow into communing with our Lord, to bonding with our Creator, to having Community with our Savior and to KNOWING God.
